Same old, same old.

Carwash after an early grocery run before the Easter holiday madness.
Heavily under the weather, so I might skip some family-duties over the next days…

Hey,

Kind of new to the forum but have been checking here for a while for tips etc so apologies if this is the wrong place to post.

But today scored this absolutely awesome Steerhide Aero Jean jacket from a class guy on vinted who said he got it about 30 years ago in Kensington.

I have 2 schotts, a size 40 613 for more casual wear, 42 618 to wear on my bike and have been hunting for a type 3 / trucker style for ages but never really found one that was the right fit. I wanted it to be fitted and short like an old jean jacket.

Well this jacket arrived today and it's absolutely the one! Light weight leather but still feels very tough, construction looks class, looks as though it has had very minimal wear but has some cool patina on it already. Absolute gem of a find and may now be able to chill out and stop searching for new jackets for a while.

Never seen one of these before or with this label so feels pretty special tagged as a 42 but fits like a 40 as if it was made to measure for me.

Thrifted this lambskin Type I style jacket from the 70s. It fits perfectly, but I can’t find anything on the brand, Rhodes.

The label seems to be peeling off like it was just glued to the lining which makes me think it replaced the old label. It says 46 but it fits me like a 42.

If I were to guess, I would say this is probably a vintage Wilson’s Leather jacket.

Wore another deer all day. In the rain, cold…inside the house. I really am digging these, even more than the suede versions I have. Deerskin is an absolute banger hide. Thick but soft as linen. It’s a leather that you actually forget you’re wearing.

Came back from walking to church nearby

It is now more than 30 years ago, but I had a phase where I was trying to convince myself that bib-overalls were my thing.
There is a good in every bad as I now know that I look like Kletus from The Simpsons. You, however, can pull it off effortlessly. Your personal style choices bring a lot of value to TFL, IMO.
